For over two years, WWE fans have held their breath, anxiously awaiting the return of Big E. The charismatic powerhouse suffered a broken neck during a March 2022 SmackDown taping, leaving his wrestling future uncertain. Big E’s recent foray into stem cell treatments in Mexico has reignited hope for a potential comeback, but the path back to the squared circle remains a cautious one.
A Brutal Injury and a Long Road to Recovery
Big E’s injury was a terrifying moment for fans. A belly-to-belly suplex from ridge off the ring went awry, leaving him motionless on the mat. The diagnosis: a broken C1 vertebrae in his neck, a potentially career-ending injury.
Following immediate surgery, Big E embarked on a long and grueling rehabilitation process. Updates were sparse, with the focus understandably placed on his overall health. However, a glimmer of hope emerged last summer when Big E himself claimed to be feeling “100%.”
Seeking Innovative Treatment: The Rejuvstem Visit
Big E’s recent trip to Rejuvstem, a Cancun-based clinic specializing in stem cell therapies, has sparked renewed conversation about his potential return. He wasn’t alone – fellow wrestlers MVP and Shotzi also joined him for the treatments. Shotzi, who has previously spoken openly about chronic pain, offered positive feedback on her experience via Instagram, further piquing fan interest.
Cautious Optimism: Health First, Wrestling Second
Despite feeling physically recovered, Big E remains cautious about a wrestling return. At 38 years old, his health takes precedence. The brutal nature of professional wrestling puts immense strain on the body, and Big E seems unwilling to risk further injury.
A Glimpse of Hope: Can Stem Cells Pave the Way Back?
Professional wrestling history offers some hope. Edge, another wrestler who suffered a career-threatening neck injury, made a successful return after undergoing similar procedures. Fans are eagerly awaiting any updates on Big E’s progress and holding onto the possibility of once again witnessing his signature powerhouse moves and infectious enthusiasm light up the ring.
While the decision ultimately lies with Big E, the combination of his positive recovery, the success stories of other wrestlers, and his recent stem cell treatments paint a cautiously optimistic picture. Will Big E return to the squared circle? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the WWE Universe is eagerly waiting to find out.
